    Episode #1239: Say A Little Prayer
    Aug 3 2025
    Two years of war. 50 hostages. Disturbing images. Rampant antisemitism. Low public opinion. We're living in very difficult times for the Jewish State, and sometimes, there's little more we can do than pray. Recorded on Tisha B'av, the saddest day on the Jewish calendar, this week's show kicks off our annual August Chagigot with a show that just feels right for such a painful day: a show devoted to prayer in Israeli music. Whether or not you believe in God, no doubt you believe in a better tomorrow...and these songs yearn for just that. From songs about prayer to lyrics taken right from the Jewish liturgy, these tunes will undoubtedly uplift and inspire you - because it sure feels like we need a little boost of inspiration these days.

    Kama cham ba'chutz! Man, it's hot outside! Yup, for most of our listeners, 'tis the season for hot temps, cold drinks, lots of sunblock, and doing literally anything you can to beat the heat. Anyone who's been to Israel this time of year knows well of the brutal, unrelenting heat throughout the country. So it makes sense that there are a lot of songs about summer, heat, and trips to the beach! Can we help you cool off with Israeli music? We'll certainly try, with an hour of Hebrew songs about kayitz (summer) fun in the sun. Stay cool, friends!

    It's always challenging to prepare the show when it falls out on a Jewish fast day, traditionally sad days on the Jewish calendar. So what do you do when you discover that you're broadcasting on the fast of the 17th of Tammuz? The Israeli Music Community came to the rescue, suggesting a show with songs about crying and tears. Sounds pretty depressing, right? Well, it's not what you think. Sure, some songs are sad, but others are upbeat, thought provoking, or just plain fun. And what a playlist - with Jane Bordeaux, David Broza, Rami Kleinstein, Sarit Hadad, and even a Hebrew cover of a classic song by Sting!

    Episode #1235: Israeli Music Time Machine - 1979
    Jul 6 2025
    With the recent war in Iran - and the POSSIBILITY of a 'new day' in Iran - still on our minds, we thought it might be fun to take a look back at the year in which the Iranian Revolution took place and Israel-Iran relationship changed forever. That means we're setting the dial on the Israeli Music Time Machine back to 1979, and looking back at the most popular Israeli music of the year. 1979 also happened to be the year Israel signed a historic peace treaty with Egypt, and the year the Sony Walkman was released - changing the music business forever. Join us for a fun walk down memory lane, with lots of songs you can sing along to! What are your memories (if any) of 1979?

    Episode #1234: Hopes and Dreams
    Jun 29 2025
    The war with Iran is over (for now), and there's lots of hopeful talk in the news these days: an end to the war in Gaza, expansion of the Abraham Accords, and who knows what else? Despite never knowing a day of peace, Israelis have always been hopeful that it was just around the corner. Of course, Israeli music reflects that hope in so many tunes, past and present. This week on Israel Hour Radio, Josh latches on to that hope, bringing you a selection of songs about hope and optimism, old and brand new. Enjoy this hour of positive, uplifting Israeli music, presented with hopes for better days ahead.

    Episode #1233: New Israeli Music - June 2025
    Jun 22 2025
    Amidst the backdrop of war with Iran...amidst the euphoria of America's (hopefully) successful strike on Iran's nuclear program...amidst a week of sirens, safe rooms, and stress...the Israeli music scene continues to thrive. While Israelis found themselves running to shelters at all hours of the day and night, Israeli radio stations did their best to maintain a sense of normalcy, keeping us entertained with the voices of our favorite Israeli artists. What's playing on the radio during this time of war? This week, Israel Hour Radio brings you a countdown of the most-played songs on Israeli radio stations nationwide. No, most are not songs of patriotism and inspiration. Instead, they're (mostly) run-of-the-mill, ordinary songs of love, life, and relationships - with a few powerful songs thrown in for good measure. What's hot in Israel right now? We'll catch you up on the latest and greatest, this week on Israel Hour Radio. (Original Air Date: June 22, 2025) Full YouTube playlist at https://tinyurl.com/56uaudjn Love the show?

    Israel is at war. Israelis are running to shelters multiple times throughout the day and night. Despite a growing string of simply miraculous events, many lives have been lost and many homes and structures have been destroyed. And yes, we are all a little on edge. But no matter what our enemies destroy, they can't destroy our spirit - the greatest weapon Israelis possess! Join us for Josh's firsthand perspective into the past few days of war, and stay tuned as we attempt to put our minds a bit more at ease with songs of strength, victory, and optimism. You'll leave the hour with renewed faith in the State of Israel! (Original Air Date: June 15, 2025) Full YouTube playlist at https://tinyurl.com/5522zkwj Love the show?
